Well, this is Missile system WITH Arc that check Z axis changes and height between start and end points, that fix bug with hiting units from height or hiting units on height. Missiles dont repeat ground scales. It have traectory of triangle combined with arc. Distance is hypotinuse length. Some people may not understand how it calculates, because here need some knowlage of SINE COSINE HYPOTINUSE calculation.
Story: long time ago I played Elimination Tournament. When I saw bullet traectory... shock... "how this guys do this?". About mounth ago I made something like this. This system meaby is a parody. But it is GUI and not JASS (I think creators of ET did it with JASS). If people have played ET or ET2 and they saw water that used theare, they know what it is model of platform with moving water texture. Why model and not warcraft water? Well, missile do some wierd things, it dont fly under water and suport water horizontaly. That is why they used model of water simulation.
Correct me if I am wrong. Have fun with system and dont be lazy to give credits.

NOTE: System works now as bullet spell and Impact grenade spell.
To make it bullet like, change BS_Height to 0 in Setings and set HYPSpeed to number instead of Hypotinuse * 0.03 (it is calculation of speed to make flow of arc nicer. Change 0.03 to other number to make it faster of slower. Care with it.).

Seems fair enough, but maybe add support for collision with trees and buildings? The triggers look ok too.

how come i cant target air units in (1.01 jass upgrade), i tryed to fix that with (targets alowed: air, but this didnt seem to change eny thing)
im attempting to build a bow and arrow and the old one was better in the aspect of the more extreme ark and halariously accruate flying sheep kills, what do you change to increase ark? (i suck at triggering so ... yea)
this just confused me more as i am not sure which value ''height'' you refrence, in your old verson it was represented by BS_Height.... that value dosent exist in your (1.01 jass upgrade) so i cant exactly change it...
this systom still kicks ass though its so intence holy fuck, wish i could get the updated one to ark.
epic job regardless as one of my fav triggers iv seen.
i think he means something that people does with vjass and jass like "call makeunitshot (udg_Unit,udg_distance,udg_arc,udg_etc....)" with one action and that loads system Missile Loop with that variables
?????????????
Man, don't do that... if you have something say that has something to do with topic, say, if not, rather don't write it, or go write it to VM or PM. Also don't flame
Wow I was just looking for a projectile system that works like this one!
This one is almost perfectly what I need, except for one major thing:
The missile speed is variable: it depends on how far the target is, how fast it goes. It would be more realistic if the speed is always the same, and the longer the distance, the more time it takes for the missile to fly to the target. Can you fix this? Or is this easily customizable?
===========edit============
Oh I now see your update, that's much better! The speed is constant now
Almost perfect for my map! Only one thing now: it looks like the projectile has unlimited range (it only stops when hitting a unit or the ground) It would be even better if it goes down after a while (due to gravity ) like real bullets do too (or arrows - in my map). Like what you had in your first version.. Can I customize this?
And then I want to make some minor changes (like making it stop when hitting a structure or tree).. I haven't looked at the triggers yet, but it's GUI (wherefor I'm very thankful), so I can probably change the rest
I hope you are still active on The Hive Workshop and can reply to me about the max range
thnx! +rep
I have done a small update. Now you can set ArcHeight to change missile type.
Keeping this as zero will make missile a bullet. Making this number as a proportion with MaxDistance, will create an arc missile.
example: ArcHeight = MaxDistance * 0.1 OR ArcHeight = MaxDistance * 0.25
Else you will see that your missile become faster as closer you shoot.
Btw, do you know how I can make the arrow missile face the right way? (in z-rotation)
Because your bullet model is round and spins, so it doesn't matter, but an arrow should fly with the point to the target and the tail coming behind the point
You might want to switch the projectile's movement type to "Float" in object editor to prevent it from bugging out whenever it flies above deep water.
It also seems that the projectiles automatically explode whenever they leave a water area (try shooting over a pond or a river).
You might want to look into that.
after 4 years you still have yet to fix the issues with targeting air units, what happened man? the original one had no problems hitting air units, sometimes it missed if they had neutral wander but that was part of the fun of aiming, no matter what I change in the trigger settings it never hits air units now. this is a pretty lame issue to have lasted this long. especially when the original was better at hitting air units.
